The United States senate is no longer

An E2xo,ius of Quacks.

Iowa has long been noted rs the hottest,
coolest, and healthlcst state in the union,
and now it is probable that her health
will improve to such degree that un-
dertakcrs, tombstone builders, and drug
gists will generally so into bankruptcy,
and cemetery lots may be obtained In
eligible positions, by the most INDECENT.
All of this is to be brought about by
the new law, which went into effect on
the first of the year and regulates the
practice of medicine to the extent of in
contlnently firing all quacks out of the
state who insist upon playing at physic
without the proper credentials. Persons
who can produce diplomas from medical
schools of good standing, and those who
have been in continuous practice for five
wears, are entitled to certificates which
permit them to remain. Others are sat
upon by the ponderous law unless they
git" and per consequence there has
been hegira. The long procession is
headed west, and Kansas and other states
out that way which have no similar law
will get the result, which will show up
shortly in the mortuary reports.
Magnetic healers, however, are ey-
empt, as they do not administer drugs or
use instruments, and are, therefore, harm
less. They are allowed to rub people
until the skin comes off if the patients
are willing. provided that they show
that they have been rubbing for the ncc-
essary five years.
The law Is a delight to the regular doc
tors, as it gives them more to do, but the
chances are that when the facts get
heralded abroad young men with sheep
skins of the M. d. pattern will crowd IN
to such an extent that Iowas population
will be doubled by doctors alone, and the
people killed by them will hardly be
missed
